Galen Center

It was more of the same for USC's basketball team Sunday night in what has become a season of frustration for the Trojans. With five players scoring in double digits, Colorado defeated USC, 83-74, at the Galen Center. The Trojans have lost a season-high six consecutive games and 11 of their last 12. The latest loss dropped USC's record to 10-15 overall and 1-11 in Pac-12 Conference play, leaving the Trojans last in the conference standings. "It is frustrating for all of us," USC Coach Andy Enfield said.

When: 5 p.m. Where: Galen Center. On the air: TV: ESPNU; Radio: 710 Records: USC 10-14, 1-10 in Pac-12; Colorado 18-7, 7-5. Update: USC has lost five consecutive games and 10 of its last 11, including a loss to the Buffaloes, 83-62, in Colorado on Jan. 18. Colorado has won its last three games against the Trojans but is coming off a 92-74 loss at UCLA on Thursday. USC's leading scorer Byron Wesley has turned it up notch lately, averaging 22.3 points in his last four games.

There are games when UCLA guard Norman Powell becomes an ignition switch. The Bruins' game Saturday night against USC was one of those times. To say UCLA was in a funk during the first half would be an insult to teams in funks. UCLA looked worn and beaten. Powell stepped in and started the salvage operation that ended in an 83-73 Pac-12 Conference victory for the Bruins at the Galen Center. Powell had a season-high 21 points, 17 coming in the second half. He made six of seven shots after halftime.

UCLA VS. USC When: 7:30 p.m. Where: Galen Center. On the air: TV: Fox Sports1; Radio: 570, 710. Records: Bruins 17-5, 6-3 in Pac-12 play; Trojans 10-12, 1-8. Update: UCLA embarrassed USC, 107-73, in a Pac-12 opener, dominating every facet of the game. The Trojans have performed better than that in the last two weeks, though they have little to show for it. USC lost its first five Pac-12 Conference games by an average of 22 points. The Trojans have won only one of their last four games, but two of the losses came in overtime.

El Camino Real Charter High School won the Los Angeles Unified School District's “Super Quiz” competition Saturday, beating 58 other high school teams in the Academic Decathlon's final event. The Marshall High School team took second place and the reigning national, state and LAUSD decathlon champion, Granada Hills Charter High School, placed third. The El Camino charter team scored 63 out of a possible 72 points in the game show-style contest, in which students have seven seconds to answer multiple-choice questions on a variety of subjects.

Hundreds of students paraded into a gymnasium on Saturday afternoon at USC's Galen Center, their friends and families cheering from the bleachers as ragtime music played. The Super Quiz, the final event in the Los Angeles County Academic Decathlon, was about to start. The game show-style competition requires teams of nine high school students to answer three dozen multiple-choice questions on subjects including art, economics and science. Questions were read by Fox 11 news reporter Gigi Graciette, and students had just seven seconds to punch in their answers on hand-held electronic devices.

AT OREGON STATE When: 6. Where: Gill Coliseum, Corvallis. On the air: TV: Pac-12 Networks; Radio: 710. Records: USC 10-10, 1-6 in Pac-12; Oregon State 11-8, 3-4. Update: USC won its only game with Oregon State last season, 69-68, at the Galen Center, but the Trojans have lost their last four games in Corvallis. It will be interesting to see if USC Coach Andy Enfield gives more playing time to Strahinja Gavrilovic after the sophomore forward came off the bench and scored a career-high 12 points in the Trojans' loss Sunday to Stanford in overtime.

Stanford led USC at halftime, 32-28, in their Pac-12 Conference men's basketball game Sunday at the Galen Center in Los Angeles. Forward Dwight Powell led Stanford's scoring with 10 points, while forward Josh Huestis and guard Chasson Randle each had seven points. The Trojans were led by forwards Byron Wesley and Strahinja Gavrilovic, who each had eight points. USC came into the game 10-9 overall and 1-5 in Pac-12 play, while Stanford was 12-6 and 3-3.

USC's basketball team battled back against Stanford at the end of regulation play Sunday to force overtime at the Galen Center. But that's when the Trojans' bid for a second consecutive Pac-12 Conference win came to a halt. Three-point baskets by Chasson Randle and John Gage in the five-minute overtime period spearheaded the Cardinal's 79-71 win over USC. BOX SCORE: Stanford 79, USC 71 (OT) "We played very hard today and had a chance to win," USC Coach Andy Enfield said.
